A key tip in neonatal transport is to have different modalities of transport. This one with Babypod. Same level of monitoring. Faster and lighter. Les change in helicopter. A good example of retrieval method suited to the mission. #tailoredtreatment #oslohems

You need to echo people in thyroid storm before you beta block them or you might kill them
in thyroid storm, treating sinus tach with a beta-blocker will occasionally cause death many patients have reduced LVEF & compensatory tachycardia (borderline cardiogenic shock) beta-blockers push them over the edge what data supports B-bl in thyroid storm? why do this?

@cliffreid Have you spoken to your lab? Direct selective ion measurement has been normal practice for >20 years & is how ABG machines measure it. Point is to understand the physiology treat the patient not the number

@cliffreid Excelent! And blood gas analizers dont suffer this artifact (direct ISE technology) so for real Na levels just check the ABG and forget the lab. For the same mechanism ICU patients with severe hypoalb could have pseudoHIPERnatremia.

'Pseudohyponatremia' due to hyperglycemia is REAL hyponatremia which gets better when you fix the glucose 'Pseudohyponatremia' due to elevated lipids or protein is NOT real hyponatremia. The lab tells you the sodium is low but there is no true hyponatremia I made this animated
